The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:20, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one, two or three articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:59, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Video games with variable translation control

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:19, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A category of unclear meaning and dubious value. The description says that "this category is for games that allow users to control their avatar at variable translation speeds", which is rather vaguely defined, would apply to countless games across completely different genres (e.g. every single car-driving game?), and seems to be far too trivial to be a category. The category has been originally created by User:Sly Snake, seemingly as a companion to his article "variable translation control", which was deleted last year; "variable translation control" is apparently a term made up by the author and it is used nowhere else on the Internet.

Category:Leaked songs

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per the principals of WP:LEAK we should not be promoting leaked songs - the claims of leaked material usually come from unreliable self published sources like blogs or actually link to the leaked material itself. Not encyclopaedic and questionably factual. ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 19:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Participants in the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: speedy delete - this is looking like WP:SNOW already and more importantly this has serious WP:BLP concerns. Accordingly I am applying WP:IAR and going ahead and putting this to the deletion bot. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:29, 12 January 2021 (UTC)}}[reply]
Nominator's rationale: None of these "participants" have been convicted so having this in the "American criminals" category is an outright BLP violation. The lack of any action for the majority of them beyond arrest makes the entire identification of them with an insurrection questionable. Even for those that the RS are worth placing in the cat, WP:ONEEVENT applies. This cate's creation and population is very premature. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:08, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fictional astronomical locations. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:16, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one subcategory. Kepler-1229b talk 19:01, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Easter films

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Films about Easter. A purge to reflect that name took place during the discussion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:30, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category name like with New year films category, Is too narrow a term and estranges films that have major portions set, aboutor has themes of Easter. This also should be rename to pair with the corresponding article on the subject. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 16:08, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Dream Focus Then what would you suggest? Because the current category name doesn't make sense or correlate as much as your saying the proposed one is. Easter films make it seem like the film is only about Easter when that's not the case. There's a miniscule number of films solely about the concept of Easter. This current name has to change. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 02:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Easter films is understood to be a movie about Easter or something happening during the Easter holiday that it is clearly about. Example: is there is an Easter bunny or a dog dressed up like one, or other such things? Dream Focus 02:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Murdered journalists

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: keep. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. No notable WP:DEFINING link between the occupation and the manner of death. Not commonly and consistently expected as a professional hazard or qualification. There may have been many years between the occupation and the death, making the link even weaker.
Note: Sources about the death of a person will often discuss both their occupation and their cause of death. This doesn't make this intersection any more notable than a combination with other aspects often discussed in such notices, such as their number of children.
Journalists who were murdered for political reasons should be in Category:Assassinated journalists.

  • Note that a list is perfect for this. Those list entries verify the remaining Assassinated and military conflict categories. But most journalists aren't murdered or even killed. It is Not Defining, not commonly and consistently expected.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 22:53, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I concur with what Dimadick says above. It's nice we have Category:Assassinated journalists for journalists who were murdered for political reasons. What about those who were murdered by e.g. mafia for uncovering something they shouldn't have? Many of them have articles on enwiki just because they were murdered, see e.g. Ján Kuciak.--Darwinek (talk) 02:15, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - This is a far too useful a category, and one covered significantly by the media, museums, and academic (Journalism courses) discourse. Had this been "Journalists killed in the line of duty" I would have been willing to argue. However, if you want to specify further in order to exclude journalists murdered - in, say, break-in robberies - and rename this "Journalists murdered in connection to coverage", be my guest. - Chieharumachi (talk) 03:21, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment if there were an artful way to name journalists killed in action or killed for their journalism this could be notable. That a journalist was killed in an armed robbery or as a passenger on a hijacked plane or such is trivial. I also don't believe "murdered" or "assassinated" are appropriate versus "killed" unless motivation can be reliably sourced. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:19, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm inclined to keep all these. Journalists are often killed because they are journalists, in a way which does not apply to most other occupations. I'm not sure that assassination covers all the bases. Rathfelder (talk) 22:07, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Checking out a sample of the base category Category:Murdered journalists each one was better categorised as assassinated. I think we need to purge these categories before we delete them. I havent found any who were not killed because they were journalists, with the possible exception of Jill Dando. Most were clearly assassinated, but some were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rathfelder (talk) 23:26, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Many journalists are killed while working but not assassinated for political reasons (e.g., embedded journalists). This is a useful tree. Grutness...wha? 01:59, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment The whole murdered journalist category structure has serious problems. For example, Michael Kelly (editor) is subsumed within it because he was killed while covering the Iraq war, but he died in an accident which occurred when the troops he was travelling were attacked. He wasn't killed by enemy fire or because there was something unwelcome about his coverage, and in any case most deaths in warfare can hardly be called murder. I think there is general interest in war correspondents who were killed in that service, and there is reason to have a category structure of assassinated journalists, but the current structure seems to be misrepresenting a lot of people, as the "keep" comments above suggest: the structure as it stands is being assumed to hold people whose death was a consequence of someone objecting to their reporting, when the categories themselves make no such promise. Mangoe (talk) 04:35, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've purged the main category. In the country subcategories there are clearly some people like Jill Dando and Victor Noir who were clearly killed because they were journalists - but I'm not sure we can say they were assassinated. Rathfelder (talk) 13:35, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete/merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OCASSOC. This category contains the likes of a painter who made a portrait of Yeats. The lone "family relative" in the category was Yeats's wife, and therefore belongs in the family category. Place Clichy (talk) 14:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Geography of the Tibet Autonomous Region

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:33, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Both expressions refer to the same physical location. It is therefore not meaningful to have separate geography category trees. Content seems to be split between the two without much logic, e.g. Category:Township-level divisions of Tibet is in the second category whereas Category:Subdivisions of Tibet in the first one. Place Clichy (talk) 13:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Borders of countries may change in the course of time, for example France grew larger in the course of centuries, without that leading to a separate country category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:27, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think that this reflects at all how Category:Tibet and Category:Tibet Autonomous Region are organized. Much of the content related to Tibet (not the larger region) is categories called Tibet, not TAR. The way it stands now, we have category cycles and misplaced content aplenty, unsurprising for categories with so much overlap. The history of claims over Ladakh, Assam, Aksai Chin and other places is of course interesting, but using them as basis for rescoping Tibet categories would probably result in more disruption than improvement. Anyway, I do not read anything in your comment arguing in favour of such a rescoping. Place Clichy (talk) 15:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Celtic Wave redirects to Irish Sea, and the term is not even mentioned in this article. This seems to be a little-used alternative name for the same body of water. Place Clichy (talk) 10:25, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: US and Canada are the only exceptions in the Category:Municipalities (we probably need a 'by country' container category). I can't think of any reason why we would need to rise 'in' for those two countries and 'of' for the rest of the world, so I suggest standardizing the the more common form.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:08, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
The Iron Cross was the top military award of Germany and is among a handful of awards that might actually be defining. On the other hand, the Wilhelm Ernst War Cross was awarded by the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach to people who had already won the Iron Cross. This award is so non-defining that almost none of the articles in the category even mention it. There wasn't a list so I created one right here in the main article for any readers interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:48, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:07, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD approaching WP:TRIVIALCAT)
The Stevie Awards are a vanity award that businesses pay to enter and the article contains this little nugget:
According to the organization, awards are given in hundreds of categories, and 30-40% of entrants receive an award.
What else can I add? - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:48, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
